Derby host Portsmouth in a key Championship clash on Friday night and there is also action all over Europe. We have a trio of selections which make up our best bets of the day. GET £30 IN FREE BETS WITH TALKSPORT BET Livingston to beat Partick @ 6/5 Falkirk have opened up an eight-point lead at the top of the Scottish Championship, but Livingston can cut the gap to five with success over Partick on Friday night. Thistle would have also hoped to be involved in the promotion picture this season, but Kris Doolan's side are 12 points off the top. Livingston have had to adapt to life in the second tier following their relegation from the Scottish Premiership last season, but it has been a pretty good campaign for David Martindale’s men. Livi have lost only one Championship match all season, and if it wasn’t for a few too many draws and the electric pace set by Falkrik, Martindale’s men would have been heading for an immediate return to the top flight. Partick have been in pretty good form themselves, but Thistle have won only two away league matches this term and they now face a visit to one of the division’s best teams. At 6/5, Livingston look good value to see off Partick at Almondvale and close the gap on league leaders Falkrik. Derby to win to nil v Portsmouth @ 2/1 It’s a swift turnaround for Derby and Portsmouth when they meet at Pride Park on Friday night with both sides in action only three days prior. Derby battled to a 0-0 draw at Burnley on Tuesday night, while Pompey also played out a stalemate against Norwich. The Rams have been pretty good on their own patch this term, and the 14 points Paul Warne’s men have collected at Pride Park have been built on a solid defence. Derby have conceded only nine goals in nine home league games this term, while Portsmouth have scored just 12 times in nine Championship road trips. At 2/1, Derby can rely on their defence and beat Portsmouth without conceding. GET £30 IN FREE BETS WITH TALKSPORT BET Wolfsburg to beat Freiburg @ 11/5 Wolfsburg have been in fantastic form winning five matches on the bounce, and while a trip to Freiburg will demand another big performance from the Wolves, it’s hard to ignore a team in such fantastic form. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men have hit 16 goals on their impressive winning streak and Freiburg will have a job keeping an impressive Wolfsburg attack quiet. The Breisgau Brazilians are a good team, but they failed to beat Mainz at home this term. They were also turned over by St Pauli and Julian Schuster’s men now take on a side in red-hot form.
